Thanks! I'll check out Holmes. I'm always looking for more information.
I'm not sure if I'll share this or not. It's awfully long, I'd have to highlight things, which might change the tone. And it's kind of weird to hear yourself referred to as the client.
I saw in the article that he referred to a book about women needing attachment more than men. I'm not sure that's true. The men I know best seem to need secure attachment at least as much as women, if not more. And I'm not sure that it makes much difference if the therapist/client dyad is male/female either. I've only had that sort.
And my attachment to him is definitely maternal. So I'm not sure about gender making a difference.
